Hi All,

Not related lines but

Where in Canberra would it be good to take a rotor to get pre-purchase inspection done-

You know check out the car before I put down some of my blood, sweat and tears [money]

Cheers

PS: i have done a search for "rotor, rotary" in the ACT froum and got nothing!

Just a pre-purchase inspection?

Ultimate Tunes in Phillip have had a lot of rotors going through there for years, a few of their mechanics have them as well.

I used to take my old wagon there for all it's work, they always did a good job on it too.

Cheers guy's!

I just don't want to be buying a rx7 where the second turbo won't spool or engine need a rebuild.

Also to give me a heads up on what work the car requires so it can be factored into the price nego.

Once again thanks for the replys!

Reliance is my pick. even though they are rotary specialists they did the 1JZ conversion on my RA23 celica 6 years ago and i was damn impressed with their work.....would rival most bigger and better known shops in other major cities

John Waterhouse (owner of Reliance) built the motors for the Bathust SP RX7's in the 24 hour races, and would probably be best for the diagnosis/check up. However, for an engine rebuild I'd use John Gotrel (@ Hume, but many years since I've had any contact).

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
